Dear Parishioners,
Stewardship is more than financial support. It is a spiritual response to God’s presence in our lives. This year’s stewardship theme is “Here I Am!” These three simple words echo across Scripture from those who made themselves available to God – Abraham, Samuel, Isaiah, Mary. And they resonate with our patron saint, Andrew. When Jesus called, Andrew’s heart answered: “Here I Am!”
You are invited, prayerfully and thoughtfully, to consider your own response. Your pledge makes a difference. It fuels every ministry that makes up our parish life. You are not only funding our annual budget. You are supporting the very lifeblood of our faith community which extends far beyond the walls of our church building.
Thank you for the many ways you already say, “Here I Am!” May we continue, together, in the spirit of Andrew, trusting that God will multiply our gifts in ways we cannot yet imagine.
With gratitude for your support,
David Guydan, vestryperson for stewardship
Did You Know…
Annual stewardship giving supports 72% of St. Andrew’s operating budget.
Inflation along with rising utility costs increasingly strains the ability of St. Andrew’s to maintain its missions.
On top of covering our own parish costs, we are required to contribute $197,000 in 2027 as our Diocesan Allocation. Much of that money directly supports needy causes.
We have set a participation goal of 300 pledges. Every pledge counts.
